Fourth Quarter is a new genre-bending devised play that takes on the
changing climate with incisive, exuberant performances. Pregnant moms
smoke cigarettes as the world in crisis melts around them. Basketballs
dribble over leaves that can’t be contained by a big blue tarp. This is an
invitation to grieve the world as we know it, because the other side of our
grief for the world is our love for the world.

in a polarized world.

unique culinary delights and personal stories about coming
here, coming out, coming through, and finding love for cooking
late in life. While each journey is unique, one thing binds these
storytellers - love of the culinary. Join host Otis Gray and chefs
Eli Kulp, Abu "Taft" Pettiford, Laisa Donha, Mir Podheiser, and
Neal Santos for a night of stories paired with five courses!
